How high can this be installed? We need it to start from a treehouse platform of 10 feet high, so the cable itself will need to be higher of course.

This depends on the age(s) of the children, and their heights. They have to be able to touch the ground at the opposite end from where they start. If it is too steep (say 5 or 6 ft. above tree platform), there is a chance the child could slam into the tree or post at the end. I'd buy some sort of stopper(s) before the line ends.

i have mine starting at about 12 ft off the ground and going downhill to a height of about 8 ft. it could be started at any height, but it does not have a safety harness so be sure anyone using it is securely sitting on the seat before they are sent off for their ride

It can be installed at any height, but you will have to check your angle to make sure that it doesn't drop too fast because there is a danger of hitting the tree at the other end.

They don't recommend very high for safety. But, I'm sure it's possible to put as high as you want.

It can be installed at any height. Because it ends where the child stands on the ground, the higher it's starts, the faster it will go. Our starting point is a tree, connected about 12 feet from the ground. This was installed for children ages 6 to 12.

200' with good cable (solid copper) is safe... If you use cca cable, try not to go over 100'. You need to start increasing voltage when you go farther.

You could certainly extend the cords, but I would have reservations. How will you get up there for install? How will you retrieve the cord if you accidentally let it go without engaging it in the blind-like stop? (That happens.) Use your trigonometry skills to determine how much clearance you would need 20 feet down in order to engage the blind-like clamp. A 10 foot ceiling requires it to be installed 8 inches from the wall on the side of the mechanism. I would love to hear how this goes if you in fact do it.

Consider this: I put a 100 foot heavy duty extension cord on it. Keeping that in mind, relative to the smaller size of cat cable, I would estimate anywhere from 150 to perhaps 175 feet?

Zack is telling you right. Very sturdy, well made . I also cut the tubes to get it closer to the ceiling, but if you do that it covers up the small gap at the top for the cable. Good Luck!

Pretty sure it won't be long enough to reach. You'll have to extend the wires.

The levelers should be able to accomplish it but these are levelers and not intended for raising height. More for leveling. You could try it or just some wood underneath.M

Oh you have a high ceiling, it will extend up to 10ft. But u can use some extender like bricks/hallow blocks at the bottom. I recommend u this product because u gonna have a show room bike rack like. I should know because I put mine inside my room where my babies are sitting. Its a good buy.

My property backs up to trees, i bought this , put 4' in depth in the ground. and this now gives my antenna the ability to go over the trees. I still have 1 section to extend. I have to guy wire it, at the height it is at now , it catches wind. I will guide wire it soon to use the full height. Hope this helps.

If you install it by the instructions, putting an 8% slope, a break is not needed. It will be a gradual startup, speed through the middle section and a gradual slow down near the end. Start at the end of the run and mount your cable 24" above the tallest rider. I mounted mine at 7'. Now go back to the start mount the cable at 14' up in a tree (assuming a 100' cable). That's about a 7% slope. The cable slacks a lot over 100' so as the trolley runs and gets on the last section of cable, it actually starts going up to the 7' tie point and slows down by itself. If you are running into your end point, your slope is too much and is actually dangerous. Properly installed, not brake is needed.

Dont things so. You need a tree located to certain distance or a hook, or something to hold the system

Not really sure how high it will go. Purchased two of these and just plugged in to make sure they worked. One in wife's car and one in my truck for emergency only. Sorry

Well, I have it about 20 ft. high in a tree, so bugs aren't a problem. However, it does attract bugs, so I wouldn't recommend mounting it where that would be a problem for you.

No more than a foot or so. It's short so any higher than that would be pretty steep.

You also might want to add a turnbuckle to the mix, so you can maintain constant tension on the cable.. Of course, you also might pull your tree down. :)

You can put as high as you want just make sure the line that connects to pet is long enough. I have mine at about 12-15 feet high

The tree becomes a ground plane. Law states that you can only raise an antenna 20 feet off a natural or pre existing structure. So a tree will give you a lot more hight. But hight is not always good. Beyond 35 feet you tend to loose ground plane anyway. Yes this will work without ground plane but I recc it that high. With out ground plane you signal shoots strait up. I would research old school ground plane info. Most new stuff is here say.
